Complete Golden Visa Services in Dubai

The Dubai Golden Visa grants 5 or 10-year residency with no local sponsor. It is issued by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security. The rules are set out in Federal Decree Law No. 29 of 2021 and Cabinet Resolution No. 65 of 2022.

Bestax manages the entire application for you. We confirm your category, prepare every document, file through official channels, and follow up until issuance. You deal with one team from start to finish.

Why Apply Through Bestax?

Most golden visa agents in Dubai only process your paperwork. Bestax does more. We are an FTA-approved tax agency with our own accountants and auditors.

Two visa categories depend on financial evidence. Entrepreneurs need a UAE auditor to confirm a project value of AED 500,000 or more. Public investors need FTA proof of AED 250,000 or more in yearly tax payments. We prepare both documents in-house. No third party. No delays.

Our golden visa consultants check your eligibility first, then build a complete file before anything is submitted. Complete files get approved faster. Bestax delivers some of the most reliable golden visa services Dubai has to offer.

Benefits of the UAE Golden Visa

The UAE Golden Visa offers more than long-term residency. Every benefit below comes with the residency we secure for you.

  • Residency Without a Sponsor

    01

    Live in the UAE for 5 or 10 years with no local sponsor. You get stability for yourself and your family. Plan your future with confidence.

  • Full Business Ownership

    02

    Own 100% of your company anywhere in the UAE. No local partner is required. You keep full control of your business, profits, and growth.

  • Stay Abroad Freely

    03

    Standard visas lapse after 180 days outside the UAE. Golden Visa holders are exempt from this rule. Travel freely and keep your residency active.

  • Sponsor Your Whole Family

    04

    Sponsor your spouse, children, and in some cases your parents. Their visas last as long as yours. We file every family application for you.

  • Education, Healthcare, and Lifestyle Perks

    05

    Access top schools, universities, and hospitals across the UAE. Holders also qualify for the Esaad discount card from Dubai Police. It unlocks discounts at thousands of brands in the UAE and abroad.

  • A Longer Grace Period

    06

    You get 180 days after expiry to renew or adjust your status. Standard visas allow only 30 days. We remind you long before that clock starts.

Which Category Fits You? We Check and Confirm.

Eligibility depends on your category. We verify every condition against the official rules before anything is filed.

  • Real Estate Investors

    You qualify with UAE property worth AED 2 million or more. We verify the value against your title deed or an official DLD valuation. We can combine several properties to reach the limit. Mortgaged property? We obtain the no-objection letter from your bank. We also check off-plan units from RERA-approved developers under the updated 2026 rules. A February 2026 circular removed the old upfront payment requirement. Rules change often, so we confirm the latest DLD criteria before you apply.

  • Public Investors

    You qualify with an AED 2 million deposit in an approved UAE investment fund. Company owners qualify with capital of AED 2 million or more. Or we prove it through tax: FTA confirmation of AED 250,000 or more in yearly payments. We prepare that FTA proof ourselves. Loan-financed investments do not qualify, and we tell you that upfront.

  • Entrepreneurs

    You qualify with a project worth AED 500,000 or more. An approved UAE auditor must confirm the value. Our audit team issues that confirmation. We also guide you through local authority approval as innovative or future-focused. Or we help you apply through accredited incubators like AREA 2071 or Hub71.

  • Skilled Professionals

    This is the most common route for employees, and we handle it daily. You need a UAE job contract with a monthly salary of AED 30,000 or more. You also need a bachelor’s degree or higher. We arrange attestation for degrees earned abroad. We compile the six months of bank statements that must show your salary transfers.

  • Executives and Directors

    Executive directors qualify with a salary of AED 50,000 or more per month. We verify your attested university degree and your five years of experience before filing.

  • Doctors and Healthcare Workers

    Doctors need an approval letter from the Ministry of Health and Prevention. We coordinate that request. Nurses with 15 or more years of service also qualify under recent health authority updates.

  • Scientists, Engineers, and PhD Holders

    Scientists need a recommendation from the Emirates Council of Scientists. Engineers and PhD holders need attested degrees in priority fields, plus a valid work contract. Priority fields include artificial intelligence, big data, biotechnology, software, and electronics. We check your degree, contract, and field against the current list.

  • Creative Talent, Educators, and Athletes

    Artists and inventors need approval from the culture authorities or the Ministry of Economy. Outstanding teachers and principals qualify with a proven record in UAE schools. Athletes need a recommendation from an official sports authority. We identify the right authority and manage the request for you.

  • Outstanding Students

    High school students need a recommendation letter from the Ministry of Education. Their visa runs for five years and can be extended for long studies. University students need a GPA of 3.8 or higher from an accredited institution. Their visa runs for ten years. Both may sponsor family members, and we assess that financial capacity with you.

A note on the Blue Visa. The Blue Visa is a separate 10-year residency program. It rewards environmental pioneers, sustainability researchers, and green initiative leaders. It is not part of the Golden Visa, but we can assess you for both.

Documents We Collect for You

We verify and attest everything before submission. Nothing goes half done.

Every application starts with the basics. We gather and check each one.

  • A passport valid for at least six months. We flag renewals early if yours is close.
  • A recent photo on a white background. We confirm it meets ICP standards.
  • Proof of UAE health insurance for you and your dependents. We review the policy dates.
  • A copy of your Emirates ID, if you already hold one.

Then we add your category evidence.

  • Investors: we obtain the DLD ownership letter or title deed, plus the bank letter if mortgaged.
  • Professionals: we compile your salary certificate, attested degree, job contract, and six months of bank statements.
  • Entrepreneurs: we issue the auditor confirmation and secure the incubator or authority approval.
  • Talents and students: we request the nomination or recommendation letter from the relevant authority.

Golden Visa Family Sponsorship Services

Golden Visa holders can sponsor close family for the same duration. That includes your spouse and unmarried sons up to age 25. Unmarried daughters have no age limit. Children of determination qualify at any age. Parents can be sponsored in some cases.

Each dependent completes a separate application, medical test, and Emirates ID registration. We prepare and file every dependent application alongside yours. Newborn children of holders can be registered from birth, and we handle that too.

  • Unmarried sons up to 25
  • Unmarried daughters, no age limit
  • Children of determination
  • Parents, in some cases

  • Golden Visa Renewal and Residency Support

    Your visa is self-sponsored. You can change jobs, start companies, or move between emirates freely. Your residency is never tied to one employer.

    Renewal uses the same conditions as your first approval. The visa renews for the same period if you still meet them. Investors must still hold qualifying property. Professionals must still show a qualifying contract and salary. We track your renewal dates, refresh your documents, and file the renewal for you.

  • Choose Between the Golden Visa and Green Visa

    • 5 yearsGreen Visa
    • 5 or 10 yearsGolden Visa

    The Green Visa is a separate 5-year self-sponsored residency. It suits skilled workers earning AED 15,000 to 30,000 monthly, plus freelancers and smaller investors. The Golden Visa runs longer and carries higher thresholds. Not sure which fits you? We assess your profile for both and tell you honestly.
